I kept thinking about making French Bread. It had been a long time since I’d pulled out flour and yeast and butter and salt and mixed up dough for French Bread. My family loves Butterhorns. Especially my son, so that’s what I make the most often. Still, it just sounded fun to bake French […]
Three Things {Cakes}
Today I bring you three favorite cake recipes! Vanilla Rich Chip Cake This is a McCormick recipe and you can print it out by clicking on the cake name above and hopping over to their website. I ate this at a friend’s house and she sent me the link, so I could make it too. […]
Marshmallow Peeps Surprise Cupcakes
I clicked over to Pinterest a few weeks ago to browse for a bit. Pinterest has started doing that whole picked-for-you bit and selecting pins for your feed. I hadn’t paid that much attention and probably really wouldn’t have realized they were doing this, except a few days earlier I had read a sarcastic humor comment […]
Chocolatey Butterscotch Topped Treats
We have this much loved Rice Krispy treat recipe over here… This is another favorite recipe with Rice Krispies. Different texture and different ingredients, but still pretty simple to make and if you love sweets, these are yummy! We sometimes put this recipe in a jellyroll pan and cut out shapes. This was fun back […]
Sweet and Sour Meatloaf
Meat Loaf and Macaroni & Cheese. This was a very favorite combination for a meal when my sister and brother and I were the kiddos in our home. I still think of the two together when I go to fix one or the other. We liked both things and they were comfort food. This Sweet and […]
Peanut Butter Cup Cookie Bites
Peanut Butter recipes are probably a favorite around here. At least, peanut butter and chocolate together recipes. While I like plain peanut butter cookies, I like chocolate with the peanut butter much, much better! I do love these Peanut Butter Rice Krispies and they don’t have chocolate in them. This recipe for Gooey Bars has […]
Applesauce Jello Salad
I would not say my family is a jello-salad crazy family. I can think of three jello salad recipes off the top of my head, that I, myself, like to eat and have made. I’ve never been fond of carrot salad and I don’t think I’ve ever made it. I also tend to be […]
Home Canned Chili Beans
A few years ago, I canned chili beans for the first. It’s a great winter time project. Since it requires a fair amount of time and heat to have the burner on the stove running, the heat might as well be put to good use compared to home canning that HAS to be done in […]
Peanut Butter Pie
Alrighty! A challenge for myself. I’m going to {hopefully} post a week of recipes. I still have a lot I’d love to have catalogued on here and printed out and added to my three-ring binder that I started. I’m going to shoot for this Monday through Friday {and maybe Saturday} of recipes. I have a […]
Simple Spiced Wassail
Tis the season! Of cold weather and hot drinks. Here on our farm we like the occasional coffee, hot chocolate with a touch of coffee, and sometimes hot tea. I also like to make wassail during the Christmas season. It’s so pretty and there’s something cozy and homey and Christmasey about it simmering on […]
Harvest Apple Cake
This cake has long been a favorite recipe of mine. I’ve made it for a lot of years and don’t even remember when I first made it. I find myself pulling out the recipe every autumn and at other times of the year too! When I have extra apples, I chop up enough for this […]
Banana Bars with Cream Cheese Frosting
Another recipe to add in to my recipe log and a favorite around here! It’s a great way to use up bananas that nobody picked up and ate and are getting overripe. This seems to occur now and again, unless you have someone at your house that likes really, really ripe bananas. {I remember someone […]
Tea Syrup for the Freezer
We drink a lot of iced tea around here. My husband’s family are iced tea drinkers and he grew up drinking iced tea. My family didn’t drink tea. My dad would sometimes, I think, if we went somewhere and they were serving iced tea. I don’t remember ever fixing it when I was at home. […]
Cornmeal Rolls
Another of our favorite bread recipes! I hadn’t made cornmeal rolls for quite a while. We were at a friend’s house a while back and she served them. My son loved them and wanted to make them. I found my recipe and we made cornmeal rolls! They didn’t last very long. They are really soft […]
Rhubarb Crisp
I married a man that enjoys rhubarb desserts now and then. I don’t remember having rhubarb when I was a kid. My grandma did make Rhubarb Jello like my mother-in-law makes. I don’t remember her fixing it when I was young, but I probably just heard “rhubarb” and didn’t even try it. I was picky. […]
My Very Favorite Iced Tea Recipe
We drink a lot of iced tea around here. When I was growing up, I didn’t like tea. My parents weren’t really tea drinkers and we never had it at our house. If we went somewhere and were offered our choice of iced tea or water, I always took water. And the one or two […]
